About me
I've been building software since 2018, growing through roles across fintech, real estate, logistics, and developer tools. I currently work in fintech and hold a bachelor's in Finance and Banking, which gives me a unique perspective when building financial products.
These days I split my time between engineering leadership, hands-on work, and AI consulting. I enjoy mentoring engineers, building reliable systems, and occasionally nerding out about coffee brewing.
